PART 3 Answer & Audioscript 19 F 20 D 21 H 22 A 23 B Audioscripts Speaker 1 When I was six, my granddad bought me a telescope. It was only a kids’ one and wasn’t particularly powerful but it sparked my fascination with space. I’d spend hours gazing up at the dark night sky. As I grew up and became interested in other stuff, I forgot about the stars for a while, but when I did a postgraduate degree I ended up doing astronomy so I could put my maths and physics degree to use in an interesting way. My parents didn’t think there’d be many well-paid job opportunities in the field and they were right – but I only studied it because I liked it. Speaker 2 As a kid I used to visit my dad at the observatory where he worked. I remember looking through fancy telescopes there. He was so enthusiastic about his work that he wanted me to follow in his footsteps. That was his dream – I wanted to be a racing driver. I only got as far as working as a mechanic on a team, though, which I didn’t want to do forever. In order to get ahead I knew I’d have to have a certificate or two. I turned to astronomy simply because I already knew so much about it. Dad still thinks I did it for him! Speaker 3 My family moved around a lot when I was a child, and even when I felt a bit unsettled being in yet another country, the one thing I could rely on was the stars above me. They made me feel safe. So, from being a kid, studying astronomy was the only way forward for me. I can’t imagine what I’d have done if I hadn’t become an astronomer. I had to work pretty hard at the theoretical side of things – my knowledge of physics and maths was weak. But I was determined, and now I’m doing a job I love. Speaker 4 I didn’t go to university straight after school. Instead, I worked for an organisation which developed computer software for interpreting satellite images. It was specialist work and although I started off as the office junior, I picked up quite a lot of knowledge in a very specific field. I did occasionally get to do a bit of practical stuff, which got me interested in astronomy. If I’m honest, I just wanted to play with the big new telescopes I knew were available to students at the university I chose to study at. I passed the course and now travel around the world making observations. Speaker 5 As a teenager I wanted to travel all over the world studying volcanoes – something exciting that very few people knew about. That idea didn’t last long as I realised it would be more satisfying to do what generations of my relatives had done before me and study the universe. Now I’m involved in theoretical astronomy – making observations and testing theories. It’s as fascinating as I’d hoped, though the salary could be better – maybe it will be when I make a major discovery about space. Download 166.5 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
